Eowyn grimaces, for she knows it is easily possible for Elboron to take an hour at his meal if she does not stop him. But she may eat one-handed if need be, or tolerate Faramir's assistance. Weeks of parenting has made her more willing to accept such aid than her pride permitted those first few difficult nights. Besides, she is as hungry as Elboron.
So she makes herself as comfortable as she may near the fire, resting back against a rock as she feeds their son, alternately watching Faramir at work, or Elboron with his small eyes squeezed shut in concentration. Happily, her prediction proves true; some feeding and the rush of the waterfall, combined with the warmth of fire, firs, and his mother nearby, means Elboron drifts off to sleep before so very long. Eowyn cradles him on her shoulder, humming a quiet lullaby as she stares at the falling water.
